Chapter 71
[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]
My head was still foggy, and I thought I had heard the doctor say something like a primordial thing.
My frown deepened as I narrowed my eyes at the head healer. He stood in front of us at the height of Killian’s shoulder with a frantic look. It was as if he had never seen anything like this before, and it scared him—no, more like terrified and amazed at the same time.
“What are you talking about, Ned?” Even Killian got confused about what was happening. “She’s not feeling well, so I carried her here. What are you talking about, primordial—a-are you serious about what you are talking about?”
Even the healer seemed so agitated by what he had discovered that his fingers began to tremble. Looking at his reaction made me scared of what that really meant, so I looked at Killian with panic in my eyes. Killian saw the terror in me and put his hand on my back gently, trying to calm the perturbation in me.
“I will explain this to you later,” Killian whispered as he gestured for the doctor to talk outside the clinic. I wanted to tell him I needed to go, but the severity of the situation frightened me based on the terror that I saw on the healer’s face. It was something I never expected. I was just having a strange in-heat experience because I finally chose my mate, but what was it that was happening?
Seeing Killian talking to the doctor outside, looking so calm and collected, somehow pacified the fear in me. I couldn’t remember much of what happened, but I was thankful Killian came back to check on me before something happened to me in my office.
For a mated she-wolf, this in-heat experience was nothing new to me. But it had been six years since I denied my connection with Dominic and ran away pregnant from the Silver Crescent pack and since then, I had never experienced these feelings again. Only when I started accepting Dominic in my life did it come back and suddenly, I didn’t know what to do.
“What’s happening, Killian?” I asked when I heard the wooden door creak, and he entered the clinic while massaging the space between his eyes. He seemed distressed. But I wasn’t sure if it was about what he found out about my blood or if it was because of me choosing Dominic over him.
“I am not really sure what it means, Samantha,” he answered me with honest confusion and sat on the edge of the bed with an exhausted face. He sighed and then uttered softly, “You know you are like a box. Always full of surprises,” he smiled weakly.
